Sorry for being confusing, my lack of knowledge about darcs internals makes my report a bit fuzzy.

The broken repository does fetch OK with darcs-HEAD, thanks.
I still don't understand why 'darcs get' gives me a more usable repo than 'darcs repair' does, though.

About the missing files in the index, I've found an embarrassing reason...
I noticed many of the missing files in the index were created by myself, but I knew that I had set my PATH to 
include darcs-2.4.4 on code.haskell.org.

However, I got surprised when I executed
$ ssh code.haskell.org "darcs -v"
2.0.2 (release)

I executed the PATH prepending in .bashrc, so it only gets executed during interactive logins, not when darcs 
logs in.
I have not yet figured out how to set the path so that 'ssh code.haskell.org "darcs -v"' shows 2.4.4.
I'd prefer to set the PATH, than to add --remote-darcs to all c.h.o repos I'm using.
